That would be so disappointing. True, Costa Maya isn't a great port. However, missing any port is a bummer. I'm so sorry. It seemed you all had favorable docking position as well. Oh well. Next time, right? Thanks for a great video!

In my opinion, you really didn't miss much at Costa Maya except for the long walk to the port itself and the many, many people at the port. I've cruised on the Dream three times and have loved it every time. I heard Andy the cruise director making the announcement about the ship not docking there at port, he is awesome! As for the shows, I wish that Carnival would update their shows on the ships. It seems like most of them going out of Galveston have the same Playlist Production shows going on and even though they're different performers it still is tiring seeing the same shows every cruise. I'm a karaoke person myself and was glad that the Dream has the new setup for karaoke. Kim with a K is a great karaoke hostess. Enjoy the rest of your trip! :)

I was on the Dream the first of April and we didn’t dock in costa maya either. Said weather was the reason. Said the other ships there got there earlier than the 1:00pm dock time. A rumor on our cruise was it was the young Italian captain. Wonder what his track record is of not docking in costa maya. Might be a good video.
